I looked around but the top hits all seem to lift similarly confusing wording from the abstract of a 2018 paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.05842) . Can anyone explain in plain English? Is this simply a voltage-controlled or current-controlled voltage source, where the output voltage is proportional to the…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1805.05842/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
